Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers per hour to knots is 0.53995680345662, which means that 1 kilometer per hour is equal to 0.53995680345662 knots:

1 km/h = 0.53995680345662 kt

To convert 5.8 kilometers per hour into knots we have to multiply 5.8 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from kilometers per hour to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km/h → 0.53995680345662 kt

5.8 km/h → V(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V(kt) = 5.8 km/h × 0.53995680345662 kt

V(kt) = 3.1317494600484 kt

The final result is:

5.8 km/h → 3.1317494600484 kt

We conclude that 5.8 kilometers per hour is equivalent to 3.1317494600484 knots:

5.8 kilometers per hour = 3.1317494600484 knots

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 knot is equal to 0.31931034482705 × 5.8 kilometers per hour.

Another way is saying that 5.8 kilometers per hour is equal to 1 ÷ 0.31931034482705 knots.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that five point eight kilometers per hour is approximately three point one three two knots:

5.8 km/h ≅ 3.132 kt

An alternative is also that one knot is approximately zero point three one nine times five point eight kilometers per hour.
